    After 16 years, I've almost come full circle.

    I'm almost back where I began when I first discovered photography 16 years ago. I'm finding myself shooting a lot with my 50mm f1.8 (the original metal body/mount). Next I'll probably go back film and Fujichrome 50-except I have no film cameras left, and they don't make fujichrome 50 (Velvia might do, but I still need a film camera since I gave away my EOS-3 at Christmas). I'm finding myself shooting less and thinking more of what I'm actually seeing in the viewfinder now that I'm limited by my fixed focal lengths. I spent Monday with my family at Monterey Bay packing just prime lenses -20mm, 50mm, 85mm, 135mm, and no flash. It was an interesting day trying to compose without the ability to zoom except with my legs ;) I shot mostly with the 50 as it seemed to afford me the most flexibility through the day.
